   In the days of lsd, the average person could do rudimentary mental   
   arithmetic. These days most need a calculator, even although a base 10   
   system makes things simpler.   
      
   But of you're so dismissive of a non decimal currency, why does the US   
   stick to imperial measurements for just about everything else?
